Tim Minchin is as brilliant and hilarious as ever as he satires the bible in The Good Book. I own nothing, obviously, go buy the DVD as Tim Minchin deserves the moolah. • BTW, there's another version on here too (and he should get credit, as he uploaded the video first). Check it out: • • Tim Minchin - The Good Book (Ready fo... • Lyrics: • Life is like an ocean voyage and our bodies are the ships • And without a moral compass we would all be cast adrift • So to keep us on our bearings, the Lord gave us a gift • And like most gifts you get, it was a book • I only read one book, but it's a good book, don't you know • I act the way I act because the Good Book tells me so • If I wanna known how to be good, it's to the Good Book that I go • 'Cos the Good Book is a book and it is good and it's a book • I know the Good Book's good because the Good Book says it's good • I know the Good Book knows it's good because a really good book would • You wouldn't cook without a cookbook and I think it's understood • You can't be good without a Good Book 'cos it's good and it's a book • And it is good for cookin' • I tried to read some other books, but I soon gave up on that • The paragraphs ain't numbered and they complicate the facts • I can't read Harry Potter 'cos they're worshipping false gods and that • And Dumbledore's a poofter and that's bad, 'cos it's not good • Morality is written there in simple white and black • I feel sorry for you heathens, got to think about all that • Good is good and evil's bad and goats are good and pigs are crap • You'll find which one is which in the Good Book, 'cos it's good • And it's a book, and it's a book • I had a cat, she gave birth to a litter • The kittens were adorable and they made my family laugh • But as they grew they started misbehavin' • So I drowned the little fuckers in the bath • When the creatures in your care start being menaces • The answers can be found right there in Genesis! • Chapter 6, Verse 5-7! • Swing your partner by the hand • Have a baby if you can • But if the voices your head • Say to sacrifice your kid • To satiate your loving God's • Fetish for dead baby blood • It's simple fate, the Book demands • So raise that knife up in your hand! • Before the Good Book made us good, there was no good way to know • If a thing was good or not that good or kind of touch and go • So God decided he'd give writing allegoric prose a go • And so he wrote a book and it was generally well-received • The Telegraph said, This God is reminiscent of the Norse. • The Times said, Kind of turgid, but I liked the bit with horses. • The Mail said, Lots of massacres, a violent tour de force. • If you only read one book this year, then this one is a book • And it is good, and it's a book! • Swing your daughter by the hand • But if she gets raped by a man • And refuses then to marry him • Stone her to death! • If you just close your eyes and block your ears • To the accumulated knowledge of the last two thousand years • Then morally, guess what? You're off the hook • And thank Christ you only have to read one book • Just because the book's contents • Were written generations hence • By hairy desert-dwelling gents • Squatting in their dusty tents • Just because what Heaven said • Was said before they'd leavened bread • Just 'cos Jesus couldn't read • Doesn't mean that we should need • When manipulating human genes • To alleviate pain and fight disease • When deciding whether it's wrong or right • To help the dyin' let go of life • Or stop a pregnancy when it's • Just a tiny blastocyst • There's no reason why we should take a look • At any other book • But the Good Book • 'Cause it's good • And it's a book • And it's a book • And it's quite good! • Good is good and evil's bad • And kids get killed when God gets mad • And you'd better take a good look • At the Good Book • More lyrics: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/t/ti...
